You can use the Port Trunking Configuration screen to set up port trunks as shown below:

Parameter Description

Trunk#

The trunk identifier.

Port Count

Trunks can contain 2, 4 or 8 ports.

Port Number

The ports assigned to each trunk.

To add a trunk, press . To delete a trunk, highlight the required entry and press Enter. Before

disconnecting a port trunk, take the following steps:

• Before removing a port trunk via the configuration menu, you must disable all the ports in the

trunk or remove all the network cables. Otherwise, a loop may be created.

• To disable a single link within a port trunk, you should first remove the network cable, and then

disable both ends of the link via the configuration menu. This allows the traffic passing across

that link to be automatically distributed to the other links in the trunk, without losing any

significant amount of traffic.
